CD Reviews

Simple

"Totally uninspired. They put Radiohead to a string quartet but there's no personality to it, they've just drained Yorke's voice away and replaced it with a replica on strings. If only they had brought their own vision to the work instead of trying to reproduce it on different instruments. To coin a phrase: there ain't nothin like the real thing."
Beautiful!

"It is what it says.
Radiohead symphony style. I love it, if you like radiohead and you enjoy string quartets you will love this!
It has my 2 favorite radiohead songs which was a big help.
Its nice to sit back and relax to. What more can you say except its all played beautifully and a must have for all big radiohead fans."
A problem of Production

"I've actually seen The Section Quartet perform Radiohead songs live, in a small club venue, and the results there just blew me away. The passion and reverence the group had for the songs combined with the power that came with these wooden instruments rocking together in harmony together put a vibration through my body and mind. It was a fun night out, and if they come by your neck of the woods, I recommend that you check it out.



Even though this is the same group playing the same arrangements on this CD, I can't recommend it. The laziness and insufficiency of the production quality of this music is a crime. It sounds as if it were recorded with one microphone pointed at the group from across a soundproof room. Without individually mic'ed instruments or a vibrant stereo mix, the music comes across as unbelievably flat. The sonic quality of the individual instruments are totally gone, particularly in the lower ranges, as the pulsing energy of the cello parts don't even get a quiver out of my bass speakers.



Please Section Quartet: go back and try this again, with a proper music recording setup this time... your music deserves it."
